U2 don't have a business cabin with blocked middle seats so can have more weight in the front half of the aircraft.
LH is probably more similar to the issue with BA as they similarly block middle seats in business, and I understand LH have the same issue.

Does anyone know how much the assembly for the now non-existent CE centre table weighs? I imagine removing that weight from 12 rows hasn’t helped matters.

I can't speak for Easyjet, but Vueling are also having a similar issue on their A320NEO's and have the rear seat row blocked out. They are encountering a lot of weight and balance issues, especially as there are usually so few bags checked in that a Loadplanner can use for counter-balance.

Today Aegean unveiled their new A320neo with a refreshed livery and interior.
I had a look at the pictures and they had:
When you compare this to the BA NEO it makes British Airways look very cheap and low cost.
I’m not bashing BA just making an observation of how different the NEO is at BA and how poor the seat quality in ET is.
I had a look at the pictures and they had:
- Centre tables in the blocked middle seat in business class.
- USB ports at eye level (not under the seat where you can’t see)
- Phone/Tablet holder built into the seat.
- Headrest on every seat.

I flew a new skyinterior fitted KLM B737. While it may look nicer and have an ajustable headrest the seating is equally hard an uncomfortable as the new BA seats IMHO. And the food serverd in economy, well never mind.

Just came across this picture of an Iberia A320neo. As you can see, they have a sticker on every seat showing where the USB ports are (as they are also hidden behind your legs). I wonder why BA don’t use these, then passengers would actually be able to find them!

Well in response to my previous comment on the IB stickers, BA seem to be rolling them out. I have noticed in a few Trip Reports during lockdown that BA have fitted stickers onto the seat to indicate Wifi and charging points.

Just seen Simon Calder on a BA A320neo flight to Nice. He was sitting in row 29 and there were also people sitting in row 30. What happened to blocking the last two rows due to a balance issue? Have they dropped this to allow social distancing as much as possible?
